Aromatic Guide

Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare essential oil is a great match after traveling or heavy meals, whether you have celebrated Eid or participated in a summer barbeques during this weekend.🙂

I have been using Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare essential oil to invigorate circulation, energy levels and digestion.After couple of applications with Fennel essential oil I have felt more energetic, fortified and able to focus on tasks at hand.

How I used Fennel's circulating, sweet and pungent aroma energy for transformation:

1. In inhalation from cupped hands
2.on top of my head on energy point Governing vessel 20 for clearing and calming the mind
3. on energy point Stomach 36, about hand with below the knee to settle digestion and energize
4. on energy point Kidney 3 in the inner ankle for grounding and strengthening
5. In a warm compress on abdomen for stimulating digestion

If you don't have the essential oil, get some fennel seeds from your supermarket and chew them. They freshen your breath, invigorate your energy and improve digestion.

Notice that use of Fennel essential oil is not the best match for you, if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have sensitive skin, suffer from endometriosis, epilepsy, kidney problems/stones, cancer or take blood thinning drugs.

My first intuitive choice for gaining back balance, focus and strength after traveling was the essential oil of Sweet Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare. This culinary plant we have had growing also in Alkanz Estate garden. I love the pungent, sweet aroma of the seeds and the essential oil extracted from them, infact the whole plant has a similar anise-like aroma.

If you scroll down my earlier posts you find a description of Fennel essential oil mentioning, how it can encourage your body's natural detox process, balance fluid retention and help to break up cellulitis. I mentioned it can be used also for pain relief for aching joints and particularly effective with helping to ease digestive discomforts.This oil is mentally stimulating, helping you to focus and get things done.

Looking at energetics you can find, that the sweet and pungent Fennel essential oil has stimulating, circulating and warming aroma energy. This explains why it is excellent for digestive system and repelling dampness and dispelling heavy and sluggish feeling. It is also known to increase courage, stamina, motivation and clarity of mind, activating energy flow and bringing fortifying harmony.

Looks like a good match for what I need!
